    Default quote for CNC job required.

    Hi everyone.
    I need someone to make this part out of aluminium block.
    Size is H=35mmxW=56xH=162.
    This part is to mount my stepper motor onto the bottom rail of my clock. If your are interested I will send you the stl of the job.

    cheers

    Dean.

    Hi Dean,

    Welcome to the forums !

    If you have access to a 3D printer it should be an easy part to make !
    Best Regards:
    Baron J.

    I haven't got CNC, but that part looks like it could be made on a manual mill without too many dramas; I'd be willing to give it a go.
    (some accommodation for the interior square corners would be needed whether manual or CNC)

    As others will tell you, I normally work on the basis of material plus what it is worth to you for labour.
    Without pricing the material, I would guess a lump of Al for that would be around $30 to $40 and probably take a couple of hours to machine.
    You'd also be up for $8 to $9 postage to get it to you.
